no window manager, can't get kb focus on started app

Asked by egarciat in X-Windows Window Manager, Adobe Type Manager

I want to run a web browser like qonqueror, opera or netscape, on a X terminal.

I do not need the services of a window manager, because this is the only application that will be running on that screen.

I have edited my /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc file so that the only program that runs when I enter to X is

"netscape"

it works fine, at full screen, (when no wm all apps go to x0,y0) I specified only the width and height parameters.

the application catches all mouse events fine, but keyboard events, are not handled, so I can not open
any URL.

Mouse clicks responds ok.

(curious thing: when I select some menu element, arrow keys work fine :) )

is there any way i can tell my X server, that this only app should receive all kb events?.. or focus it?..
